Topics in International Politics II
The International Politics of Science Fiction
Themes
This course has two goals: 1. to help students understand how science fiction reflects and influences political realities and ideologies around the world, and 2. to use science fiction to illustrate and examine key concepts in international politics such as arms races, balancing, colonization, and long-distance trade. By the end of the course, we will be able to better articulate how science fiction not only imagines future societies but also serves as a critical tool for understanding our present world.
